Puppy/Group Classes

If you have just added a new puppy to your family, we offer a fun and informative program that will provide your puppy with confidence and socialization skills. Some of the topics covered are sit, down, come, stay, heel and wait. In addition, we will help you teach potty training, how to stop mouthing, as well as, preventing unwanted behaviors like digging, chewing and boredom barking. On top of that we will give you tips on proper nutrition and essential training equipment for raising and training your puppy. Our puppy classes are for puppies as young as 16 weeks, but no older than 8 months at the beginning of the program.

There are six lessons in our group classes with a maximum of 12 people.
Every puppy must be current on all vaccinations and provide proof at the start of the first week of class. All puppies with aggressive problems will be referred to our private training courses.

Private Classes
Private classes allow me to work with the owner and the dog to get the fastest results with the least amount of conflict. All private classes are held at our 2 ½ acre training facility in Brentwood unless previous arrangements have been made. Contrary, to what some trainers will tell you sometimes it is best for you and your dog to start training away from your house. Please call for a FREE evaluation 925.240.8292 or send us an email at: Info@AlertK-9.com to arrange an appointment for private classes. All dogs that are planning to enroll into private or Board and Train courses must be evaluated first.

Board & Train

Our B&T programs are designed for people who have a dog(s) that is/are a challenge to handle, have a busy lifestyle, going on vacation, home renovation or simply would rather leave the work to the professionals.

Our four week program allows me to use the first week to slowly acclimate and work on building a stress free friendship with your dog as his/hers trust builds I can then start with informal teaching. Following the next 3 weeks I then will work structured obedience applying more pressure and distractions while they are put through their paces. We will also do our best to accommodate any unique/special needs according to you and your dogs environment.
Four week basic training program and shorter maintenance programs are available; call for pricing.
